What is the difference between catabolic and anabolic reaction?

Answer 1

catabolism,where energy is rich complex macromolecules are degrade into small molecules.Energy released during this process is trapped as chemical energy usually as ATP.

Ananolism,(biosynthesis) the cell synthesise complex molecules from simpler precursors.this needs energy.

Answer 2

Anabolic pathway is the set of metabolic pathways that construct molecules from smaller units ie, it is constructive in nature while catabolic pathway is the set of metabolic pathways that break down molecules into smaller units and release energy ie, they are destructive in nature.

Answer 3

Catabolic and anabolic reactions are metabolic processes. Both the capture and use of energy by organisms involves a series of thousands of reactions (metabolism). A catabolic reaction is one that breaks down large molecules to produce energy; an example is digestion. An anabolic reaction is one that involves creating large molecules out of smaller molecules; an example is when your body makes fat out of extra nutrients you eat.

Answer 4

(Catabolic)- reactions that release energy

(Anabolic)- reactions that require energy

Answer 5

anabolic
